I am a painter working in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States.
This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

Back to Sketching

I mostly ignored social media yesterday. It was great to do nothing! And good to be home.

We did go out to breakfast. Joanna came by for a quick visit in the evening on her way to The Bugle Boy. We tried to watch the show on the internet, but out connection was too slow. I watched the Longhorn football team lose to USC. It was a close game, double overtime and USC won 27-24. The Horns did better than expected. Hook 'em Horns!

I sketched this morning in the big coffee table book. Used a page for the three sketches with a Micron 08 pen. Probably about twenty minutes total.

Number 1, door
Number 2, window
Number 3, art tool
Number 4, your way - free choice to sketch what you want, bears on easel
All in my studio without moving anything, including me. Have I ever mentioned that I am lazy and procrastinate? Hmmm.

I think it is quite intelligent of you to find something to sketch without moving around or going to hunt something up. The bears worked great. As for the procrastination, well, at least you gotter done.

About Me

I Grew up in a small town , Magdalena, New Mexico. I enjoy art and the pleasure other people get from my work. I always donate some of my sales and art to charities, especially for children. That started in Bolivia with Para los Niños. (Link on sidebar)
